Can you feel the excitement in the air? It's the feeling that comes from getting two of your favorite Breaking Bad characters back on TV in new adventures! Better Call Saul reunites Saul Goodman or Jimmy McGill (Bob Odenkirk) and Mike Erhmantraut (Jonathan Banks) for an origin story. See how these two met before Walter White (Bryan Cranston) kind of ruined their lives.
Just look at the exclusive photo above. You know you're excited.
The cast of Better Call Saul also includes Michael McKean (yes, Lenny from Laverne and Shirley and all those Christopher Guest movies you love) as Chuck McGill, Reha Seehorn as Kim Wexler, Patrick Fabian as Howard Hamlin, Michael Mando as Nacho Varga. The series is set six years before the events of Breaking Bad. When viewers meet Saul Goodman, he's known as Jimmy McGill, a small-time lawyer hustling to make ends meet.
Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould return to the world of Breaking Bad with the prequel series. Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein are also on board as executive producers.
The series premieres Feb. 8 at 10 p.m. with a second episode airing on Feb. 9 at 10 p.m.
"This February, during AMC's first ever two-night series premiere event, we're going to introduce Jimmy McGill to the world. Known to Breaking Bad fans as Saul Goodman, viewers will soon discover Saul wasn't always Albuquerque's top criminal (criminal) lawyer," Charlie Collier, president of AMC, said in a statement. "Huge thanks to Vince Gilligan, Peter Gould, Bob Odenkirk, our partners at Sony, and the entire team. We're thrilled to be cooking together again."
The first season will be 10-episodes and has already been renewed for a second season.
